    Yes, we know “Star Wars: Episode VI- A New Hope” doesn’t turn 50 for another two years. But that’s not stopping Disney and Lucasfilm from announcing this morning a date for a theatrical re-release of George Lucas‘s classic.

    As part of Lucasfilm’s yearlong 50th anniversary celebration, over the May the 4th holiday in 2027, “Star Wars: A New Hope” will play in theaters.

    The re-release will start April 30th, 2027. We’ll let you know what else we hear about this and other news. Like whether or not it will be the de-specialized edition, which would really be something.
